Viana<\/a>, explaining that he hasn\u2019t left the Fighting Nerds team with his move to Australia for a training camp and \u201cloves\u201d Silva. However, Volkanovski was there for Ruffy during a difficult moment in his life as he lost for the first time under the bright lights of the UFC and dealt with the death of his brother.<\/p>\n\u201cI love Jean regardless of what he thinks of me,\u201d Ruffy said. \u201cI love and respect him. I have nothing bad to say about Jean, only good things. Jean is an incredible person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruffy added \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened\u201d to lead to Silva unfollowing him on social media, \u201cbut he must have his reasons. And it\u2019s all good to me. I haven\u2019t unfollowed him. I have absolutely nothing against him. Quite the opposite, only love and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n
The UFC lightweight said he would return to Sao Paulo after winning at UFC 325 and planned on training at The Fighting Nerds gym, and didn\u2019t rule out working on the mats and cages with Silva.<\/p>\n
\u201cZero chance. It\u2019s over,\u201d Silva said when asked about that possibility. \u201cI\u2019ll make something very clear here so we can change topics: I wish Ruffy the best. This kid is an absolute star. He has personal problems to deal with and I hope he seeks help. Not only him but many other athletes do. I do, too. I go to the psychiatrist every single week. There\u2019s a lot of pressure going on in the UFC, so I hope he goes on with his life and be well. But Jean and Ruffy is no more. Straight talk. It only existed in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The relationship between Fighting Nerds stars Jean Silva and Mauricio Ruffy has taken a hit after Ruffy decided…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":458537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,1347,785,85,787,1396],"class_list":["post-458536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/458537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
